Danny Kaye plays Sam Rogers, "a prince of guy," whose best friend is getting married to the woman Sam loves; he resolves to murder his friend and arrange an alibi, as he's certain to be suspected. As the title suggests, his scheme works a little too well!
When you hear how downright goofy Danny Kaye was in his radio series - or his records, or nearly all of his films - you might be surprised to find he had some dramatic skills too and was capable of restraining himself; the plot could have been done on the Mysterious Traveler without any changes, but Kaye's performance elevates it.
Tomorrow: Eve Arden!
